“Great location with a spectacular view”

Reviewed 11 May 2014

This place was great! We had 16 people staying there for a mission service trip and this place surpassed all my expectations! The food was really really good and the service provided by Leo was incredible! Leo worked so hard to make sure everyone was taken care of! Very open type feel and everything worked.. No a/C, but the Seabreeze mad it comfortable! Really a great experience!

“Excellent Stay!”

Reviewed 7 May 2014

I just wanted to take a quick moment to say thank you to Gerardo and Leonardo. You guys have a beautiful house and the service provided is beyond any and all expectations. Our guests loved their stay, the food was awesome, the views were postcard quality and the people of coastal Ecuador are warm and caring.
Thank you for providing us with a safe, clean and beautiful place to stay for a week. We look forward to coming back soon!

“Awesome beach house”

Reviewed 6 Aug 2013

This beachfront house was perfect for our group of 7. It is located in La Entrada, a great central location for Montanita and Puerto Lopez, both are very touristic and have plenty to see and do. The house had more than enough rooms for all of us to fit and sleep comfortably, all had great views and were equipped with night stands and plenty of storage space. The kitchen was exceptionally large, supplied with utensils, cups, pots, pans... everything that would be needed for cooking. Not to mention the outside space and grill, having a BBQ and being at arms reach from the ocean was just amazing!
Gerardo (the owner of the house) and Leonardo (the groundskeeper) were awesome. Being that it was our first time renting a house as oppose to booking a hotel room, he was great via email, available over the phone, quick to respond and put our worries at ease. Truly a great guy, he also came by the house to check that we arrived well and were comfortable. Leonardo was also great and a huge help. He arranged our taxi rides, had answers to all our questions and even helped my fiancee in finding materials and decorating the back with candles, rose pedals and balloons for his proposal! Thanks to them, we all had a great time and experience, and highly recommend staying here!

“Great Hospitality!”

Reviewed 10 Jun 2013

This was also our first time to rent off Flipkey and we could not have been more pleased! We came to Ecuador to do three things, celebrate our anniversary, do some mission work and look for property. Gerardo, was extremely helpful in helping us in every area. He even represents some land owners to help find property in Ecuador! They have a great groundskeeper, Leonardo, who helped us on many occasions. My wife got sick and he helped us find a doctor, he went with us to get fresh fish for our meal that he and his wife prepared. Everyone just bent over backwards to make us comfortable. I not only feel like we had a great time but made some special friendships in the process! I would love to encourage anyone to use this place on their trip to Ecuador.

“Great place in front of the ocean”

Reviewed 28 Feb 2013

My family and I had a great time at the house in La Entrada. It was my first time renting a house online so I was a bit nervous, but Gerardo was wonderful and quickly put my mind at ease. He was great at promptly responding to emails and answering all of my questions, always willing to help in any way possible so that our stay would be unforgettable.
Our family of 10 adults and 4 children arrived in late November and stayed for four days. The house was very easy to find, with easy access to the town of La Entrada. The housekeeper and his wife greeted us upon our arrival and were very friendly and incredibly helpful. The house and property were very clean and well-kept. We thoroughly enjoyed the house and the outside space. My favorite thing: hammocks everywhere! It was so relaxing.
Benito's Bakery is delightful and just a 5 minute walk from the house. Montanita (a party town with good restaurants) is also very close (about a 10 minute drive). There are so many places to go for hiking and just wandering around. You can also go and get some fresh seafood at the beach bring it back to the house to make a delicious lunch or dinner. We were really happy to have found this place. My family and I always talk about the lovely time that we had there and how we would love to go back again.

“lovely beach house”

We spent a lovely week in this house which was very comfortable. We enjoyed the beach so much!

“Very nice home on the beach”

Reviewed 5 Nov 2011

We spent a great week at this large and comfortable home on the beach. Gerardo met the group at the airport, arranged transportation to the house and made sure we were settled in comfortably. He helped us with every part of our trip. The home is in a good location, a short ride to Montanita yet far away enough to be quiet. It is close to a number of activities like canopy and Scuba diving. Gerardo became part of our group and made our vacation so much more enjoyable.

“Gerardo made our trip extra special”

Reviewed 3 Nov 2011

The house in LaEntrada is roomy and has a wonderful ocean view. There is plenty of space for people, with hammocks on the verandas. Gerardo made our trip extra special by acting as our guide. He is a wonderful and accommodating host. He helped with arrangements and recommendations such as scuba diving,zip lining and restaurants. It was a pleasure spending time with him.

“Fabulous view, great service and charming house!”

Reviewed 24 Oct 2011

This was a fantastic beach house for our vacation. The owner took the time to not only arrange transportation from the airport but he was there the whole process from airport to checking us into the house. He helped our group get acquainted with the area and went above and beyond the call of duty to make our stay amazing! I wish we could have stayed more than a week!!! The home was charming with great views and was a wonderful location. Just minutes from Montanita but far enough away to enjoy a peaceful evening. I would recommend this rental to anyone wanting to travel to the Ecuador Coast. You will be glad you came!

“Amazing first experience in Ecuador”

Reviewed 24 Oct 2011

A group of us, some family some friends, travel each year. We always use a vacation rental. This year 7 of us decided to visit Ecuador. As soon as I saw the listing for this house I knew it was what we were looking for. I emailed Gerardo and he responded quickly. Over the couple of months before our trip I sent him several emails with lots of questions. He responded promptly with lots of info. He arranged transportation from the airport to the house and met us at the airport. He went with us to the house and showed us around (it is an almost 3 hour drive from the airport). He spent the night nearby and the next morning showed us where to shop, taught us useful phrases and offered to help us anyway we needed. Gerardo wants to add a tour guide option for his guests and he spent most of the week "practicing" with us. He is funny, smart and great to have around. We now consider him part of our family and have extended invitations for him to visit us in the USa. If you have limited Spanish (we knew a dozen or so words), Gerardo's help will make your vacation great. The house is great. It's right on the beach, a two-minute walk from a small village. The weather was a bit cool while we were there and so we didn't use the pool. There's a great bakery in the village and a couple of small stores where you can buy the essentials. Every 15 minutes a bus comes by that can take you up or down the coast to larger towns. There aren't bus stops, you just waive the bus down and get on. It costs 40 cents and takes about 20 minutes to get to Montanita, a very "happening" town with everything. I'd highly recommend this property and Gerardo for anyone who wants to visit the Ecuadorian coast. Our group was all adults, but children would love this house. We've been gone a few days, and I miss it (and Gerardo) all ready.
